This year alone, people legally shot and trapped 769 wolves – close to half the entire “recovered” population of the Northern Rockies. As a matter of the health and safety of wolves, this can only be considered a terrible, unconscionable outcome. It’s not just that long-studied wolves in Yellowstone were killed, though that’s bad enough – but throughout their entire range, they have been subjected to pain and suffering for no good reason, traumatized by the killing of family members, and turned upside down with the radical disruption of their pack structures. There was praise and excitement about wolf reintroduction, and an abundance of science has now proved their beneficial ecological impacts. But no matter how well intentioned, that’s not enough. These poor creatures are suffering because we didn’t take the long-term into account and perhaps had too much faith in our fellow man. •••WHAT WOLVES FACE predatordefense.org/wolves.htm earthisland.org/journal/index.php/elist/eListRead/sorry_but_wolf_slaughter_is_not_american/ wiwildlifeethic.org/2013/07/01/green-bay-newspaper-takes-anti-wolf-hysteria-and-dnr-propaganda-to-new-low/ prospect.org/article/wolves-slaughter blog.humanesociety.org/wayne/2013/03/wolves-in-peril.html greateryellowstone.org/issues/wildlife/Feature.php?id=38#.VDrFntm9LCQ earthjustice.org/features/a-friend-of-wolves-for-decades earthjustice.org/blog/2014-february/danger-to-wolves-mounts-in-idaho-across-u-s defenders.org/gray-wolf/threats defenders.org/the-war-on-wolves/delisting-disaster ***Washington’s Stevens County Urges Citizens to Kill Endangered Wolves - See more at: cascwild.org/washingtons-stevens-county-urges-citizens-to-kill-endangered-wolves/#sthash.Zhv9wAVm.dpuf •••PETITIONS TO HELP SAVE WOLVES LIVES: petitions.moveon.org/sign/making-wolf-hunting-illegal https://change.org/p/save-the-wolves-4 thepetitionsite/takeaction/259/009/937/ defenders.org/the-war-on-wolves/idahos-war-wolves lifenetnature.org/index.php/projects/united-states-projects/campaign-for-yellowstone-s-wolves/ pac.petitions.moveon.org/sign/protect-americas-wolves keepwolvesprotected/media/petition-drive-repeal-michigan-wolf-hunting-law-underway https://change.org/p/office-of-the-minnesota-governor-stop-wolf-hunting-trapping-in-mn https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Stop_the_killing_of_wolves_to_protect_Mountain_and_Woodland_Caribou_in_British_Columbia/?sRVBmbb https://act.actionsprout/facebook/tab/16477459734/5036?app_data=%7B%22organization_id%22%3A%22628%22%2C%22referring_action_id%22%3A%225036%22%2C%22fb_referrer_uid%22%3A%221002964368%22%2C%22source%22%3A%22feed%22%7D#/organization/action/pre •••GET THE FACTS ON LIVESTOCK LOSSES: MYTH: Wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, bears, and others kill lots of cattle.

Its not a dog. Its not a child. But it is one less wolf in the wild due to humans selfish need to own and possess. I will NEVER condone or support people who want to buy a wolf. There are hundreds of hybrids who cannot be in the wild who could use a proper home. Thats a RESCUE. Ignoring they exist and need help because you want a wolf pup upsets me beyond explanation. Ive dedicated my life to wolves and Ive never had the desire to acquire my own wolf. Thats respect and thats love. Thats honoring what the wolf really is. Hybrids need rescued thanks to humans inhumane actions. Most are the result of people who love wolves but have no idea what their behavior and needs are like in real life. Its thanks to human irresponsibility that hybrids have the stigma of being dangerous beasts because some just had to have one and realized it wasnt Balto and abandoned them or from the overflow of disreputable breeders. Hybrids need help from those who know wolves because human intervention need an animal that cannot be wild but is not a squeezable lover-dog.

(Sign the PETITION; FaceBook comments DONT DO ANYTHING! The Wolves need your voice!) https://causes/campaigns/85114-make-the-world-wake-up-to-see-whats-at-stake-for-wolves (If you want to copy and use the writing below for emails to DRN or any other pro-wolf cause; feel free. I wrote it so you have my permission.) Wilderness Only Lives Free (WOLF) We the people demand the DNR, Wildlife services and the Governing bodies of Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota and Alaska be held accountable for their reckless disregard of both the laws and their sworn duties to listen to, heed or consider the demands of their citizens; which were advertised, polled and made clearly known. We demand a stop to the socially reprehensible and morally deficient killing and delisting of wolves. We are the people. We are the power. Elected officials are supposed to be of the people, for the people and to speak for the people. This fundamental and basic knowledge is stated clearly in the Constitution and we wholly and justly demand it be upheld. Various studies; surveys, and polls were taken by each state seeking the peoples opinion on the management, listing and protections concerning the wolf population. It is widely known and made available via news and public resource that nearly 82% of the population of the United States of America are PRO-wolf and want it to be federally protected and the hunting for sport or trophy of the animal to cease. The people are rightly outraged that in each state mentioned; the governing peoples and agencies have ignored the wishes of the people to seek monetary and personal agendas by allowing not only the delisting and hunting of wolves for sport or trophy to continue; but to bluntly ignore evidence in form of irrefutable photographs; videos and statistics and not take action against the illegal killings and inhumane treatment of the wolf population. Studies have proven that less than one quarter percent of livestock losses are actually attributed to wolves and that the prey animal populations of elk, deer, etc. benefit from a healthy wolf population. There has been evidence of deliberate cruelty and mistreatment of wolves and that once again; wolves are being scapegoated with faulty numbers reports; poaching and the newest trend of being used to kill hunting dogs via wolf and get paid excess of the animals worth without proof. The very assumption of this heinous behavior should be investigated with penalties to those persons known to have taken part in the payouts, yet nothing is being done. The states citizens have cried out for wolf killing derbies and trophy hunts to be ceased and instead are increased. Hard evidence of poaching and inhumane and excess takes of wolves in state killing zones has been ignored and gone unchecked. Traps and boundaries are not being monitored and the people are going unheard. We the people say NO MORE. We demand legislation and governing that actually upholds the of the people, for the people heritage. We demand more rational, less perverse leadership. We demand our voices and desires be heard and adhered to. We demand that when presented with overwhelming evidence that it be seen to in a just and responcible manner. We demand our opinions be taken largely into consideration of actions on topics and policy. We demand the leadership remember we the people have and are the power. We demand the wolf slaughters, the culling, the trophy and sports hunts be stopped and the wolf become a federally protected species nation wide. We demand our government grow up and listen to the voice of people and the people overwhelmingly say STOP THE KILLING OF WOLVES FOR SPORT OR TROPHY. STOP THE PREDATOR KILLING CONTESTS. REMOVE THE BARBARIC AND ARCHAIC BOUNTY FOR DEAD WOLVES. If the people cannot count on and see evidence of the collective mutual opinion on matter like this heeded; why should we, the people trust in or heed the actions of those who were sworn to speak -for- us instead of around and -behind- us? Listen to the nation. Listen to the people. Stop the killing of wolves. Give what wolves remain a chance to recover from mans bloodthirsty selfishness by taking the bounties and targets off their heads and making wolves a federally protected species. We, the undersigned, here so demand. Find and reach your local and affected area government offices: statelocalgov.net usa.gov/Agencies/State-and-Territories.shtml *** Wild wolves are an iconic and spiritual part of the world and symbolize freedom in a way few creatures can. The world has lost so many paramount species due to human selfishness and need for dominance. What have we become when in an age of supposed reason, we slaughter these and other creatures in barbaric and archaic ways? They should be respected; protected and let alone as mutual living beings whom share what little is left free and unmolested in this world.
